  2. 1. The Fundamentals of Pelvic Organ Prolapse POP occurs when pelvic organs, such as the bladder, the uterus, or the rectum, descend into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. It is essential to understand these risk factors in order to prevent and manage effectively: 1. Childbirth: Vaginal delivery, especially multiple births, can significantly strain the pelvic muscles. Aging: The natural aging process slowly weakens the pelvic floor muscles. Hormonal Changes: Decrease in estrogen has impact upon the elasticity and strength of tissues. 2. 3.

Maintain and Achieve Ideal Weight Having excess body weight stress increases the pelvic floor muscles’ resistance, thus increasing POP risk. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains, along with proper physical activity, can help attain an ideal weight. 2. The Master Pelvic Floor Exercise Regular repetitions of pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, will help strengthen the muscles which will hold pelvic organs in place. Such exercises include contractions followed by relaxation of the pelvic muscles.

  5. 4. Non-Surgical Treatments If you are starting to develop symptoms of POP, you have several non-surgical options: 1. These are short term, removable appliances.
